Pre-Empting the Liberal Media
American Thinker ^ | August 28, 2016 | Steve Feinstein

Posted on 08/28/2016 7:20:26 AM PDT by Kaslin

Liberal mainstream media bias for Hillary Clinton is the single biggest factor so far in this election season contributing to her lead in the polls. The nightly news on NBC, ABC, CBS, NPR, the NY Times, Washington Post, the morning and late-night TV shows, CNN, MSNBC, and all the websites associated with these sources are strongly and openly behind Hillary and her “first woman” status. Many so-called journalists have dropped any pretense of objectivity and are quite unashamedly and openly supportive of Clinton, while they derisively dismiss Trump as an unserious nonentity. Ostensibly, it is Trump’s presence in this year’s race that has caused liberal bias to be so prominent, but no rational observer could possibly think that the media would show any less favoritism towards First-Woman Hillary if her Republican opponent were Cruz, Rubio, or Kasich.

Hillary has many well-known vulnerabilities and character flaws: her role in Benghazi debacle and the subsequent rewriting of history in order to avoid accountability and blame, her nonaccomplishments in every major foreign affairs arena where she played a role as Secretary of State, her private e-mail server and her continual distortions and parsing in an attempt to deflect scrutiny and shift responsibility (“Colin Powell told me to do it!”), and of course, the widening-by-the-day Clinton Foundation corruption controversy.

The media is willing to broadcast anything that benefits a leftist or trashes a normal person.

pointing out liberal bias after it has already taken place does nothing to prevent it[s] ..."

Exactly. We have to stop these vermin from polluting the discourse to begin with.

It’s up to the individual Republican candidates to take on the challenge of developing those pre-emptive tactics

Bang on! Candidates have to have the courage to slap down bigoted reporters and humiliate them publicly. "Are you asking me that question to inform the public or to promote your agenda? What are your credentials, Mr. Guardian of the Truth? Is it true you work for the wholly biased New York Times? How can I -- or the public -- expect fair treatment from a person who is so obviously partisan? I refuse to answer your question, and ask security to escort you from the premises. Next?"

Trump has come close a few times. It's one of the things I like about him.

The best thing the Clinton turd polishing ventriloquist dummies in the Libtard media have going for them is talk radio.

For instance. Donald Trump gives an outstanding speech in front of a packed house of enthusiastic supporters.

Trump says something slightly controversial.

The Libturd media shouts, "Squirrel!"

Talk radio hosts chase the squirrel all day long. All the while complaining that the ventriloquist dummies are ignoring the rest of what Trump said and never getting around to the rest of what Trump said themselves.

Rinse and repeat.

“Network” was actually a reality show, trying to warn people who thought they got “truth” from “news” that ALL that came out of the tube was just a pack of LIES-—and artificial——NOT LIVING LIFE-—having our emotions artificially controlled by the Satanists (money-changers). It was ALL for profit and power-—control over the masses and ultimately the world.

In 78, Solzhenitsyn stated that our “press” (and I am including people like Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levine), are all out for “ratings” and money-—they do NOT care about the real corruption and the destruction of our Freedom (Constitution) since they waste time with superficial and not the fundamental problems. It is OBVIOUS what happened in 1913. It is NOT hard to research all the False Flags to create and fund all the wars for the elite satanic, Malthusian psychopaths....and we need to RETURN to the Constitution and Rule of Law which means going back to Language, Borders and Culture-—and Rule of Law.

Many so-called “judges” and lawyers need to be removed/disbarred and put into prison—and that includes four on the Supreme Court.

When the people WAKE UP and quite wasting time listening to all the White Noise and DO SOMETHING to take back the country——that is when we have Sanity again....right now, we have insane psychopathic satanists who want to have sex orgies with the little boys—like in all the Ancient Babylonian (satanic) cultures and our trying to create gender confusion in little four and five year olds 24/7 like the sodomite in the White House. It is ALL so unconstitutional to force satanism and irrationality into our institutions-—by pretending men are women—rejecting science and truth for emotions and base, evil instincts.

Flipping 2000 years of Good and Evil for Ba’al Rites of Worship.....it is irrational and unconstitutional.

We realize the brainwashing (mind control) that TV/Movies and Skooling has on the young children, yet we allow the State to destroy the ability of critical thinking in young children for “group-think” indoctrination. (Crickets from Mark Levine and Rush Limbaugh about the REAL problems-—that the WHOLE SYSTEM IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL and local control to parents of children needs to be done YESTERDAY. Until we get Virtue instilled in children again, there is NO civil society. Rush and Levine and their families, make money inside the evil “system” and that is why they want to keep it.

We will NOT get sane people or people who can stand the TRUTH (God). Truth ONLY will set us Free.

Without God, EVERYTHING is possible and Evil will be Good (Slavery will be Freedom).Rush and Mark Levine have been allowing our government to get away with banning Christianity from the public square since the 60s. We NEED to put GOD BACK into our Justice (virtue) System where He was in the FIRST PLACE. Putting Satan in our Justice System creates a Vice System.

Taking back the LANGUAGE is crucial, for the Marxists destroy the meaning of Words and concepts (for the children—so they can erase concepts of Common Sense, Natural Family and mother and father for their Marxist utopia), so they can literally flip Good and Evil and make Slavery into Freedom and Vice into Virtue so they can rape and kill the little children for their Ba’al sacrifices and orgies on the altars again-—like Jimmy Savile was doing for 30 years—and also with dead bodies.

These people are the reason I am no longer interested in lowering taxes on the rich. In fact I am in favor of raising them. I do not think anyone here objects to raising taxes on the rich libs who own the media but we should also raise them on rich Republicans who do not or refuse to own media.

so-called journalists

What do you mean "so-called" journalists? That's what they are. Journaling is what silly 12 year old girls do in their diaries. Reporters report the facts without all the editorializing, spinning and out right lying.

Hanging this on Limbaugh and Levine is just plain
ridiculous. Get yourself a local radio show, speak
your mind and see if you can grow an audience.

You advocate going back to the Constitution on one
hand and putting lawyers and judges in prison on the other.
The Constitution provides for something
called “due process” so people don’t get instantly
thrown into prison, even those people disliked by
you and me. You can’t have it both ways.

Do the opposite the media wants you to do when voting.
The opposite is probably the right thing to do. When they work that hard to rescue a candidate drowning in corruption, something is very wrong. They like to change the subject every time the truth comes out!

I read the whole thing hoping to find his brilliant idea on HOW to preempt the leftist propaganda organs - nothing. He’s as clueless as the rest of the inept Republicans.

We can’t have this division going on between Never Trumpers and Trumper supporters and think it will help us. Once November comes and goes they will continue fighting over direction. They both claim to be “conservative.” So now the word is meaningless. Cruz is driving the wedge not Bush or Romney.

It’s Mark Levin. You should know that by now. There is a real Mark Levine who is friends with Leslie Marshall and goes on Hannity to debate.

Propaganda can work for both sides if properly executed. It can work for the truth, as well or better than it has worked for the lies of our current leftist media.

Trump has been the first Presidential nominee that seems to have the balls to speak his mind and cut through the insanity.

Pre-Empting the Liberal Media.

This is Sales 201/301.

Long after sales 101 (Mitt Romney Et al), with its “Features and Benefits” in a professional presentation.

Sales 201 starts to “Know” your audience/customer. Know their PAIN and keep pressing that pain button, this was Bill Clinton.

Sales 301 and Pre-Empting the Liberal Media.

The audience is no longer just the potential voter but the Leftist Media that forms their opinions. I’m not suggesting that Trump will ever convince/sell/close the liberal media, but he can literally use the media to reach his target audience, the voter.

Sales 301 is the tactic of addressing predictable objections before they are stated, and the liberal media is very predictable. Basically it’s, “I know what you’re thinking” and I’m going to address that before you express it, therefore removing it as an objection. When dealing with the media as a middleman so to speak, the challenge will always be getting sufficient air time of your message and not allowing them to define your position on their terms. In this environment Trump needs to be bold with the truth to get attention and simultaneously state how the media will attempt to spin or object.

Donald Trump knows all this and more. He’s a Master Salesman and knows how to read people but he needs to do this on a much bigger stage with a hostile media to boot.

It’s not going to be easy.

I agree, and the debates will be VERY interesting! Trump will certainly call out the media for fawning softball questions to Hillary while at the same time they get accusatory and confrontational with him.
